Well…
1)“automatic” uses the size of the destination drive so can only be for removable drives.

2. When you want 99MB you should enter 99000 as the volume size is entered in kBytes - you cannot enter units such as MB, GB etc

it tells me the same thing

“Error in custom sizes for zip volume”

So in the “Size” box you only typed

99000

but still get the message :confused:
What version of PowerArchiver (see Help/About)?

i splitted the file into two

it gave two file:

1. Spanned.zip 23,074kb
2. Spanned.z01 99,000

but i thought that the two files will be with ZIP extention

No, if that was so - all files would have the same filename :eek:
Spanned archives will have filenames
xx.zip
xx.z01
xx.z02
xx.z03 etc

This is described in help file.
